Eric-
As often the case, my opinion is the minority.
I would go with the 810. I believe that increasingly we will leave the heavy glass on the shelf...but when we want to use it, it will likely be in situations where we will want absolute max IQ and so far nothing beats the 800 series in that department.
As to the XT-1. I am not a huge fan...a mini DSLR is not what I want from Fuji (though it is great to have an lcd back that articulates). It just doesn't feel right.
What you REALLY want is an X-pro 2... Nothing feels as good in the hand as the XP1...it just isn't quite up to the tech advances in the x100 or XE2...but the xp2 will be.
D800 or D810 and Fuji x100T and XP2 rule !!!!!
I still use the x100 (now T) more than all other setups I own...it is just so great to have a camera that fits in your pocket. Doesn't even need a neckstrap (use wrist strap mostly). Shoots with 1/2000 sync with flash, has built in ND filters...etc etc. Yes, fixed lens means you need to think more and move about more but that's a good thing.

Thanks Tom
As always, your reasoning is compelling. Need to feel an XP before I can comment on it as the ultimate Fuji alternative.
